“The Journey He’s Still On at This Point, Man, You Got to Respect It.”: Kevin Durant Showers Praise on Stephen Curry

Golden State Warriors lost their 7th game of the season against the Nuggets at the Chase Center. Stephen Curry ended the game with a game-high 23 points, but it wasn’t enough for the Warriors to register a win. However, they’re still in a good position this season with a winning percentage of .794.

Stephen Curry has been in top form this season and has averaged 27.7 points so far. He has had a good campaign and even broke Ray Allen’s all-time 3-point record. However, he also became the first NBA player to break the 3000 three-pointers barrier.

“Anytime you could break an NBA all-time record, regardless of what it is. Especially something significant as a three-point shot. I understood his emotion and then let’s say he got seven-eight more years of fun. So he’s gonna shatter it and it’ll never be broken again,” Durant said.

“I happen to run into them, and it was cool to see everybody from the Warriors and staff. Kind of being on that celebration a little bit because I got a couple of assists in there too. It’s impressive for somebody to do it in that amount of games and to see the journey. He’s still on at this point, man, you got to respect it.”

Durant left the Warriors in 2019 and signed with Brooklyn Nets. However, he is still good friends with the Warriors players and maintains a good relationship with Curry.
